27 Napier Avenue, Takapuna, North Shore

Spacious, stylish living with family flow

Viewing by appointment.

On the market for the first time since it was built 25 years ago, this stylish Takapuna sanctuary is the ultimate family home. The owners worked with an architect to bring their vision to life - a spacious, elegant and very functional living environment for them and their teenage children. Its layout and location have served them well over the decades, but it's now time to downsize and let the next family enjoy their hard work.

The classic residence has an impressive street presence, with a wide frontage and landscaped gardens. Warm tones and timeless style inside incorporate solid Matai flooring and Rimu joinery, while thoughtful design offers great family flow but separation when required.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and casual living space flows out to three outdoor living areas and the private landscaped garden. This area is fully fenced and the raised vegetable patch is right next to the kitchen for easy access. Glass doors open into the stunning separate formal lounge, which is warmed in winter by the gas fire.

Upstairs, the library/office (or 5th bedroom) has a high ceiling and deck with expansive views of the city skyline and glimpse of the sea. The family bathroom is also on this level. Four double bedrooms are located on the top floor. Three are serviced by the family bathroom, while the master has a walk-in robe, ensuite and city views. Adjustable shutters provide fresh air and privacy. The internal double garage is on the ground floor.

This neighbourhood is a 10-minute walk from Takapuna beach, where you can stroll along the sand to all the shops, eateries and entertainment. Hauraki's restaurants, medical centre and supermarket are also a short walk away in the other direction. The motorway onramp and public transport are close by and is zoned for excellent schools.

A beautiful home to move into, relax and enjoy.
